A company is concerned with traffic that flows through the network. There is a concern that there may be malware that exists that is not being blocked or eradicated by antivirus. What technology can be put in place to detect potential malware traffic on the network?

To detect potential malware traffic on a network when traditional antivirus solutions may not be sufficient, a company can implement an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) or an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). An IDS monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and alerts network administrators. On the other hand, an IPS not only detects suspicious traffic but also takes action to prevent the traffic from causing harm.

Another technology that can be used is a Network Traffic Analyzer or Network Monitor, which inspects network traffic to identify unusual patterns or detect malware signatures. These can work alongside advanced threat protection systems, such as Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) that use threat intelligence and deep packet inspection to identify and block sophisticated malware.

Additionally, implementing a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system can help in analyzing and correlating event data from various sources, looking for patterns indicative of a malware infection.

Companies may also consider an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution which monitors endpoint devices and can detect malware that might bypass other security measures.

Finally, using advanced security solutions that leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence can help in recognizing zero-day malware and other evolving threats by identifying anomalies that do not match the established benign patterns of the network's traffic.
